Rajasthan High Court Clears Way for 847 Assistant Professor Appointments in Medical Education

The Rajasthan High Court has taken note of and accepted the appeal lodged by the state government together with the Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) regarding the recruitment of assistant professors in the medical education department. This judicial endorsement removes the legal hurdles that had previously delayed the hiring process. With the court's order, the path is now clear for appointing candidates to the 847 vacant assistant‑professor positions across the state's medical colleges. The move is expected to bolster the teaching workforce, addressing chronic faculty shortages that have affected medical education quality in Rajasthan. The RPSC can now proceed with finalising the merit list and issuing appointment letters, although no specific timeline has been announced.
